What should not be found in the glomerular filtrate?
red and white blood cells
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
Why are useful molecules like glucose and other nutrients found in the filtrate along with urea and other wastes?
because glucose and other nutrients are small to filtrate through the filtration membrane and glucose is essential to be in the filtration membrane.
Why are red blood cells or proteins not found in the glomerular filtrate?
. Since proteins are very large molecules (macromolecules), they are not normally present in measurable amounts in the glomerular filtrate or in the urine. The detection of protein in urine, called proteinuria may indicate that the permeabilityof the glomerulus is abnormally increased. This may be caused by renal infections or it may be caused by other diseases that have secondarily affected the kidneys such as diabetes mellitus, jaundice, or hyperthyroidism.
What two substances can be found in the glomerular filtrate?
Basically blood plasma minus proteins. The glomeruli can filter out most serum proteins, but lets a few small ones through (I think the cutoff is like 25kD). Some albumin does manage to get through, this is recovered in the proximal tubule.
What are the two substances that are routinely found in filtrate but not found in urine products?
Ions and nutrients
What materials are found in filtrate?
- It contains all plasma components except protein. - It loses water, nutrients, and essential ions to become urine.
What are two substances that are found in the filtrate but not in the urine?
Ions and nutrients
What happens to carbon found in glucose?
because they are not held in fixed positions
